Front Seat Belt Retractor problems of the 1999 GMC Sonoma

Two problems related to front seat belt retractor have been reported for the 1999 GMC Sonoma. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Front Seat Belt Retractor problem

Failure Date: 12/20/2001

The driverside and passenger side seat recliner levers in my vehicle have broken four times. When these break, the seat lays flat back and you cannot move it up and down. I had the originals replaced at different times, and now again they are both broken. The part is junk, and needs remodeling. It is very unsafe to have this lever broken, because then the seat is broken. Will the seat belt work correctly if I get into an accident? general motors has told me to pay for the parts, but I believe the part is faulty and they should re-design and fix the problem after four times.

2 Front Seat Belt Retractor problem

Failure Date: 03/01/1999
